Finding reasonable airfares can be one of the most frustrating parts of planning a trip. Everyone wants the best route, seat and airline but the reality of it is that no one, no matter the price, is going to find the full package.
The Golden Rule when it comes to booking flights is to always compare your rates and airlines. Even though the last airline you used gave you the cheapest rates for your last trip does not mean they are offering the cheapest rates the next trip.
Money.usnews.com says that it is best to book flights 7 weeks in advance and 14 weeks in advance if traveling on a holiday. It is also known that cheaper flights are found when departing late at night or early in the morning. You are also likely to experience a layover at some point in your trip. Don’t be afraid or discouraged by a layover, embrace it and use it as time to catch up on missed work or your favorite Netflix show while having peace in mind that you are saving money!
According to farecompare.com Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday are the cheapest days to fly due to them being unpopular travel days. This may be true, but it is important to understand that cheaper rates, days, airlines, and airports are constantly fluctuating with their offers. So do not be upset or discouraged when having a hard time find the best rates while doing everything your research told you to do.
I think flying is one of the best experiences of traveling. It gives you the opportunity to see the world God made from a completely different point of view. It’s beauty shines in its natural state of existence.
So go and fly, take time to compare and find the best deals and if you fall short of what you are looking for don’t let it hold you back. The world was created for you to see it from all highs and lows.
